Oct 19, 2019A long time coming and the wait was worth it! Welcome back JEW strikes again with a mix of emotions and just good rock and roll across the board.

Oct 23, 2019Classic jimmy eat world sound, 555 is a very radio friendly poppy electronica track, whilst others stay true to the classic formula! Great album

Mar 17, 2020Critics are pathetic .. Integrity Blues was a modern day rock masterpiece, but this one gets better reviews? This is a poor man's Integrity Blues .. but still good.

Jan 4, 2020Jimmy Eat World still shreds after 26 years and this album is one of the best overall albums of 2019. This bands deep, deep discography just keeps getting deeper and songs like Delivery, Criminal Energy, Love Never, One Mil and the title track will be on my playlists for years to come.

Oct 22, 2019An entertaining and surprisingly effective, if familiar, amalgamation of workmanlike, Foo Fighters-lite plug-and-chug rock and the electronica-tinged emo of Blink-182's "NINE" that's unfortunately weighed down by the self-indulgent dreariness of the slower tracks.
Choice Cuts: "Criminal Energy", "Diamond", "All the Way (Stay)" -

Oct 19, 2019The album I was waiting for since Bleed American. Of course Futures was a great record but I must admit I only loved 7 songs on it, and it was the first time I disliked so many songs on a Jimmy eat world album.
With Surviving, it's the opposite, I love all the songs, immediatly but also after 10 times listening to it. -

Oct 25, 2019Strong from start to finish. Each song is an auditory treat, there are no sub-par moments. Perfect blend of nostalgic grunge and polished tracks, perfect harmonies and hidden, perfectly executed surprise instrumental solos - this album is everything we could have hoped for. I only wish there was more of it!

May 29, 2021Although having some lackluster creativity and some failed experimental cuts, Jimmy Eat World is still thriving, even if not the mainstream anymore.
FAV TRACK: Congratulations
LEAST FAV TRACK: One Mil

Oct 28, 2019The album on the whole is a solid, self-aware addition to Jimmy Eat World’s catalog, and if the band’s modest strivers’ outlook has proved anything, it’s that there will be another. A band whose biggest song is against writing oneself off always has work to do.

Oct 22, 2019It succeeds in bringing a 90s aesthetic kicking and screaming in to the 21st century, shedding the nostalgia in favour of contemporary pop pomp, all delivered with Jim Adkins’ trademark optimism and heart-on-sleeve lyricism.
